Global Warming Potential GWP

GWP or GWP compares the different greenhouse gases that modify the climate system. The increase in the concentration of these greenhouse gases (GHGs) in the earth's atmosphere is the cause of global warming. The reference fluid is CO ₂ , whose GWP is equal. The higher the GWP value, the more harmful the fluid.
